How often can you actually see time disappear? We just did in California! It was 2am and then it became 3am. Exciting or dull?

Eye of the Beholder of course.

    Neither exciting nor dull - just a royal pain in the neck.  The hour forward is easy when setting clocks and watches, but the falling back is a real nuisance and one that doesn't need to happen in the modern world.

    I know. Hawaii never does it and I think parts of Arizona too. How long ago did it outlive its usefulness? Thank you for your reply L and Happy Sunday to thee and thine! :)

    At one point, it was rationing during WWII.  Then it was to give farmers longer daylight hours.  Now, it's just a nuisance.  People think it makes the day longer.  There are still only 24 hours in the day.  The Native Americans say that only the white ma thinks if you cut six inches off the top of a blanket and you sew it to the bottom, you have a longer blanket.

    I never heard that and I LOVE IT! I think that's a racist statement though isn't it? It cuts both ways. Racism. Gotta ask. Thank you for your reply L! :)

    Not racist at all.  It's just a Native American truism. :)

    I totally believe that white supremacists..in fact all RACISTS...are very stupid. Now can I prove that? No. But by simple observation of what they do/say stupidity reeks and leak from them every time they act or speak. If they at least went back underground to the slime and scum they come from and SHUT UP we wouldn't be as aware. But this new crop is loud and proud and shouts stupid dumb 24/7. Sigh. Thank you for your reply L! :)

    That's because Trump gave them the go-ahead to voice all of their thoughts.

    Frankly m'dear I do not care which we do. I just want us to make up our minds which one and then eliminate the other one and stick with one for all time. This back and forth is wishy washy! AARRGGHH! Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday to thee and thine! :)

    I care. I do not like the fall back. It makes it dark here at 4:30pm.  Ridiculous.

    So you prefer longer dark in the mornings. Bet you are a night person aren't you? We are early morning. Thank you for your reply m2c and Happy Friday to thee and thine! :)

    I would prefer the longer dark morning.  I am not a night owl. I am a morning person always have been. I am always up before the sun. So one more hour is just one more quiet hour. 
    It is peaceful in the mornings no noise...just me and the cats and whatever noise I make.  Couple of hours before I have to get ready for work etc. I have been that way for as long as I can remember.
